Service Discovery

Service discovery is necessary to enable computers to interact with each other
through heterogeneous wired and wireless networks in a seamless way. To discover a
service, a client uses one of these protocols to issue a query to a central server or an
individual service provider. The service description in the query may contain a specific
name and set of one or more attributes. The server or provider attempts to match the
query's pattern with the pattern of a service its database contains, then it returns the
appropriate response to the client. For this project the methodology use will be the Rapid
Development Application methodology that is found most suitable assist in this project.
Requirement analysis has been done in order to seek for the characteristics and areas that
need to be put in action in getting the result. Next will be the design phase where the
process to design the service-oriented and Jini architectures within the client/server
architecture. For the implementation phase, both the architectures are going to be set up
simultaneously using Jini Network Technology. Therefore with developing service
discovery with Jini technology, the minimum of manual intervention which it is include
in the Jini vision.
